White House reacts to Palin: ‘Domestic violence is not a joke’

Twenty-six-year-old Track Palin, an Iraq veteran, was charged with domestic violence from the Third Judicial District of Alaska which includes fourth-degree assault, interfering with a report of a domestic violence crime and possession of a weapon while intoxicated, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The gang on Morning Joe all felt very dirty this morning, as they reacted to Sarah Palin’s recent comment, where she blamed President Obama for her son’s arrest for alleged domestic violence.

During a Donald Trump rally on Wednesday, Palin said, “My son, like so many others, they come back a bit different, they come back hardened”. She added that veterans like her son “come back wondering if there is that respect … and that starts right at the top”.

He did not know if the president had seen the remarks, Earnest added.

Palin’s accusations against President Obama come after her official endorsement of Trump as the Republican candidate for 2016.

Sarah Palin’s son was charged for allegedly battering his girlfriend in their home in Wasilla, Alaska – an act that the former Alaska governor attributed to her son’s PTSD.

For that matter, the idea that the Obama administration has somehow been lax in helping veterans returning with PTSD is plainly wrong.

“Our communities need to rise up to help veterans”, he continued. “PTSD is a very serious problem, a complicated mental health injury and I would be extremely reluctant to blame any one person in particular….” But for Sarah Palin to exploit her own son’s troubles in the hopes of making the president look bad is just shameful, even for Sarah Palin. “I should say the sacrifices that many of our men and women in uniform make for our safety and security are not a joke”.

“Excuse me, but you can’t just crawl out of your frozen igloo bullshit shack once every election cycle just so you can become nauseatingly relevant and spew recycled partisan insane sauce all over everybody”, Wilmore said.
